In the bills passed during the recent
session Of the Legislature there were
none in which the people of this county
are more directly interested than several
introduced by Representative w. E. +.
Milburn, Of Greene county. Among
these deserving special mention was the
bill which became a law, requiring rail-
road companies 10 erect comfortable re-
ception room at depots in all towns of
300 inhabitants and upward. This will
effect fonr towns in this county; viz,
Johnson City, Jonesboro, Telford and
Limestone. The law requires the wait
ing rooms to be built within six months
from the passage Of the bill, and a fail
urc of the railroad companies to comply
with the requirements renders them Ii
able to a fine of not less than $40 nor
more than 800 dollars for each day of
snch neglect or failure, after the expira-
ton of the six months. The assessment
bill amendment requiring each county
trustee to publish annually a sworn
statement of the condition Of his Office,
fills n long felt want in this State, and
should also apply TO every county officer
handling or disbursing public moneys.
If this were required in such cases, there
would be fewer defalcations Of officers.
Besides this, the money paid as taxes
still belongs to the beople, even after it
has passed out of the hands OF individ.
uals, and they have a right to know how
every cent of 1t is expended, and should
also know "how the books stand" at
least at the end of given periods, and
should require their servants TO render
an account Of their transactions, just al
any other corporation would Of Its en-
ployes. From the nature Of the business
transacted by its officers, II is, as with til,
business of many other large corpora
tions, very i%nconvenient, If not impossi-
BILE, to gain such knowledge Of the flnan-
cial affairs of the county in the ordinary
way; /. G., by personal examination Of
the accounts. The experience Of Other
States has proven to the satisfaction OF
their people that the most practical and
cheapest way in which this can be accom-
plished Is by publication, in the advertis-
ing columns of the newspapers, sworn
statements, at stated periods, of the condi-
tion Of the finances Of every department Of
the public service which handles the peo-
PIES money. We commend the plan tC
the people Of our county, and of the coun-
ties of this State, and VIC believe 1t will
prove not only more satisfactory to the
people but to those ia public positions,
than the present mode. Mr.. Milburn de-
serves praise for thus introducing tn,
opening wedge to a better system ant
more business like methods In the matter
of county finances.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live
in Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands of
means OF enjoyment. We can desire no
better when In perfect health; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
giving it mp disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease. when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that Green's August Wower, will
make them free from disease, as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
are the direct causes of seventy.five per
cent. Of such maladies as B~illiousness,
Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness,
Nervous Prostitution, Dizziness Of the
Head, P~alpitation Of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses OF
August Floiccr win prove its wonderful
effect. Sample bottles. 10 cents. Try 1t.

cover an area Of s~eventy-fve acres.
The edition contained "a pages with a
splendid map Of Chattanooga and her
